Demo Patch #1
In this patch, we have tried to address some of the feedback we received since the launch of the demo.
The most notable changes/additions are as follows:
- Added a "Steam Remote Play Together" tutorial to the main menu to help players more easily connect with their friends to play together!
- Added the option to "Play With Bots" to toggle CPU players.
This option is selected when setting up a normal game of Midnight Mischief. When 'on', CPU players will fill any empty slots (up to 4 players total).
- Streamlined Tutorial.
Now players should find the tutorial significantly less tedious with a condensed tutorial, walls of text have been replaced with GIFs illustrating the game's controls/mechanics. Overall time to complete the tutorial is also much shorter.
- More Speed Orbs!
Due to the positive feedback surrounding our "Speed Orbs" we have increased the number of them present in the game. They have also undergone a slight rework; now when a player runs through one, it temporarily becomes supercharged and gives a larger speed boost to any players who run through it during this time. This supercharged state is indicated by the orbs turning green.
- General Bug Fixes
- Clockwork Carrier (The Gear Board) has had it's defense stat reduced very slightly and it's speed stat increased slightly.
We found that sometimes the Clockwork Carrier would be pseudo-immortal given enough defense stat boosts were collected. We also found that the board was a bit too slow so we made it faster
- Time Warning Added
Now in time based areas of gameplay (roaming maps and Perilous Path), the player will receive a warning at 15 seconds remaining. This is due to some feedback we received about parts of the game ending too abruptly.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback!
